"An Introduction to Pathology"

All New Works by MISO

August 5 - 28, 2011
Artist Reception: Friday, August 5th; 8-11 PM

Miso, she has populated an entire universe of fantastic creatures and landscapes, which she has sold successfully via Jonathan Levine and Corey Helford Galleries. For this exhibition she has developed a coroner's curiosity for the anatomical understructures of her ordinarily cuddly creations, and in no uncertain terms this is a darker, more scientific approach. Devoid of even a single sculptural work, An Introduction to Pathology continues the autopsy of "cute" begun with this past March's Everything But the Kischen Sync show. Each antique-framed oil painting comes with its own magnifying glass, which elicits exquisite detail while assigning a medical examiner's view. Here Miso has literally dissected her own art and revealed the living, breathing sentiment at its core –perhaps leaving viewers with the discomforting thought that art may only be as immortal as the artist allows. But how exhilarating that the dark underbelly is every bit as enchanting as the glossy, fluffy surface...
